The H.E.L.P. Hoedown

The H.E.L.P. Hoedown took place on Friday, July 21, 2006 at the Torrance Memorial Health Conference Center in Torrance. Because of our generous attendees, donors, sponsors and volunteers, the event netted over $110,000. That's more than 20% of our full year expense budget.

On behalf of the thousands of older adults and families who will turn to H.E.L.P. for assistance in the coming year, we thank each of the persons and organizations listed below for helping to make the event so successful:
